2010 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · DG10 MFN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on October 23, 2025 at 114,381 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed a re-test just two days later. This suggests that minor, easily rectified defects were addressed immediately upon discovery rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical neglect. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 114,381 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,149 miles. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 5,135 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody components. While the MOT records show no current defects, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of perished suspension bushes, worn coil springs, and corrosion. Given the previous rapid failures, a close check of the brake lines and minor items like wipers or bulbs is advisable to ensure the current owner remains proactive with basic upkeep. The structural integrity of the sills and wing arches should also be verified, as older Korean-market vehicles are prone to surface rust over a decade and a half.
